Charity Ball

Saturday 24th June 2023

The Cause

Every year more than 22,000 New Zealanders will learn they have cancer. This is why the Cancer Society must raise more funds each year so it can support as many of these people as possible through their cancer journey.

A listening ear; an information booklet or reputable website; a turban or a beanie to help with hair loss during treatment; practical assistance in navigating our complex and, sometimes, confusing health system; motel-style accommodation for patients receiving treatment or transport by a volunteer driver to reduce the stress of daily travel and provide companionship en-route to medical appointments are among the regular services freely offered by the Cancer Society.

We could not provide these much appreciated services and programmes in the community without your special support of our annual Cancer Society Ball. Your continued endorsement of our work provides hope for those 60 New Zealanders each day who receive a cancer diagnosis. Living with cancer can be very hard, but finding help and support shouldn’t be, and your attendance at our Ball will ensure we can be there to support those people who hear the words you have cancer.

Support your community

The charity ball will be held at The Trafalgar Centre on Saturday 24th June 2023 with fabulous food, entertainment and the opportunity to bid for some amazing auction items. Funds raised from our ball enable us to support patients and their families/whānau in the Nelson Tasman region affected by cancer. We rely solely on the support and generosity of our community to help those in need.

Please book your tables now to avoid missing out in 2023.
